32. I wasn't able do get enough sleep last night, either!Copy !req
33. My body can't take much more—Copy !req
34. She's crying!?Copy !req
35. Don't worry about it! You can come over as often as you want!Copy !req
36. I wasn't trying to make you cry!Copy !req
37. Huh? Why am I crying?Copy !req
38. Maybe because of the dream I had?Copy !req
39. Dream?Copy !req
40. Well, you did yell "wait!"...Copy !req
41. Were you having a nightmare?Copy !req
42. It was scary, but I wanted to see the rest.Copy !req
43. I've forgotten most of it, but it was such an absorbing dream...Copy !req
44. Nino...Copy !req
45. Oh well, don't worry about it. I've already forgotten.Copy !req
46. Nino is still just a girl.Copy !req
47. Living under the bridge, she must see so many scary things...Copy !req
48. That's it!Copy !req
49. If I move in with Nino, maybe that will relieve some of her worries.Copy !req
50. It's probably the most I can do for her right now.Copy !req
51. What's up, Ric? You look pretty happy about something.Copy !req
52. No, I'm not making that kind of face at all!Copy !req
53. Really?Copy !req
54. It kinda looks like the face Star's always making.Copy !req
55. No it doesn't!Copy !req
56. This is the face I make when I'm in deep contemplation!Copy !req
57. Wrong!Copy !req
58. I'd never act that much like Star!Copy !req
59. "What if our toothbrushes lined up one windowsill touch like they're kissing!?", orCopy !req

61. "After a kiss, maybe I'd finally become a man"—Copy !req
62. What the hell am I thinking!? I'd never act like that!Copy !req
63. Anyway, I need to make sure I don't say anything that sounds like I'm leading up to that!Copy !req
64. Stay calm, be casual!Copy !req
65. Nino... er...Copy !req
66. I have a proposal!Copy !req
67. If your sleepwalking happens to bring you to my place, perhaps you should move in?Copy !req
68. I'm sorry for acting like such a perv...Copy !req
69. You sure?Copy !req
70. If you're fine with it,Copy !req
71. I can move in today.Copy !req
72. Of course!Copy !req
73. We're lovers, after all, so there's nothing wrong with it!Copy !req
74. Thanks.Copy !req
75. Oh, it's nothing...Copy !req
76. So from now on we'll get closer and closer...Copy !req

81. We traded.Copy !req
82. Episode 110 "Nino's House"Copy !req
83. Why did Nino treat me like a man who's only good for his bedroom?Copy !req
84. Well, the last time I offered her my room I just got shot down, so I guess it's an improvement...Copy !req
85. Wow, I haven't been here in a while.Copy !req
86. This bed's just as impressive as ever.Copy !req
87. I love...Copy !req
88. I love you!Copy !req
89. I love your haircut so bad it makes me sick, but!Copy !req
90. Even if you shaved your head like a monk, I'd still really love you!Copy !req
91. I love you!Copy !req
92. LOVECopy !req
93. Really!Copy !req
94. REALLYCopy !req

101. Shut the fuck up.Copy !req
102. Recruit!?Copy !req
103. What the hell are you doing here!?Copy !req
104. How about you!? Why do you keep coming here every day!?Copy !req
105. Isn't it obvious!? My heart is always about to explode with love!Copy !req
106. If I don't keep coming here...Copy !req
107. Huh?Copy !req
108. P-ko?Copy !req
109. Where's Nino?Copy !req
110. She's at my place.Copy !req
111. We traded houses.Copy !req
112. Traded!?Copy !req
113. Tomatoes? Are those for Nino?Copy !req
114. These are—-Copy !req
115. Wait, they're still not ripe.Copy !req
116. It's not like that! They're—Copy !req
117. Yeah, they look like him.Copy !req
118. Maybe she wanted to talk with Nino about her feelings for the Mayor?Copy !req
119. Hey, punkass.Copy !req
120. I don't care if you traded or whatever, but from now on this is your house.Copy !req
121. Well, I don't know if I'll be staying here forever, but for now...Copy !req
122. Okay, Ric, I'm coming in!Copy !req
123. What?Copy !req
124. It smells great!Copy !req
125. He'd never been in Nino's house.Copy !req
126. Something's funny here, though.Copy !req
127. They all seem to have their guard down when they come visit Nino.Copy !req
128. I guess I'm the same, though...Copy !req
129. Hey, Nino, I'm coming in.Copy !req
130. That voice?Copy !req
131. Even the Mayor's showing up?Copy !req
132. Oh man. Sister baked way too many cookies, and now he wants me to hand them all out.Copy !req
133. I see, so you can use your shell for that.Copy !req
134. Must be pretty convenient.Copy !req
135. Sure is.Copy !req
136. Too bad, you got caught by my youkai shell-removal illusion.Copy !req
137. Dude, your fly's open.Copy !req
138. He let down his guard too much.Copy !req
139. Episode 111 "Venusian"Copy !req
140. Wow, it's already late.Copy !req
141. They just never let up today.Copy !req
142. Nino's an early riser, I bet she's already asleep.Copy !req
143. Wait, I haven't even seen her since then.Copy !req
144. That's right. She...Copy !req
145. When I wake up in the morning, she's always on my sofa.Copy !req
146. She comes for 3 o' clock tea.Copy !req
147. Lately, she's been cooking fish in my kitchen.Copy !req
148. Meaning...Copy !req
149. Don't cats grow attached to their home rather than the people there!?Copy !req
150. I can't leave it like this...Copy !req
151. I have to make this home more cozy than that one!Copy !req
152. Before she gets completely settled in up there...Copy !req
153. I know, I'll make it warmer! I'll start by making it warmer!Copy !req
154. That must be why she sleeps in the drawers even though it's such an impressive—Copy !req
155. Wait, huh?Copy !req
156. She uses the drawer on the left the correct way?Copy !req
157. Oh, this is some quality fabric!Copy !req
158. Wow, this brings back memories. We were on a date when I gave her this dress—Copy !req
159. Wait, no?Copy !req
160. What's this? I've never even seen it.Copy !req
161. It's a bit old, but the materials and workmanship are first-class.Copy !req
162. Children's clothes?Copy !req
163. Nino!?Copy !req
164. Wait, it's not like that!Copy !req
165. This is all a misunderstanding!Copy !req
166. I wasn't trying to check out your past at—Copy !req
167. Did she sleepwalk here?Copy !req
168. What are you doing, Nino?Copy !req
169. It's still cold here.Copy !req
170. Nino...Copy !req
171. Nino!Copy !req
172. Sleeping in the bed's drawers was actually terribly uncomfortable.Copy !req
173. Episode 112 "Over the Border"Copy !req
174. Wow, it's just like the Hale-Bopp comet.Copy !req
175. That one's out of the park!Copy !req
176. Who told you to bat, anyway?Copy !req
177. The coach told me to hit it with all I had.Copy !req
178. Is that really okay?Copy !req
179. I get it, so the manager let their pursuit of victory cloud their eyes...Copy !req
180. That was a one-of-a-kind
autographed ball, too! John—Copy !req
181. Lennon!? 'Tis truly a misfortune, then!Copy !req
182. What, was it something valuable?Copy !req
183. Yeah, I had to buy so many packets of chips to trade in for it...Copy !req
184. So I guess that means the manager has to go looking now.Copy !req
185. Yeah, we're stuck here until they find it...Copy !req
186. Riiiight, manager?Copy !req
187. Ball... Ball, ball...Copy !req
188. There's no such thing as a ball signed by John anyway!Copy !req
189. What was his number then? Tell me that!Copy !req
190. You can't, you're just pulling it out of your black hole!Copy !req
191. Dammit, I'm gonna find it, walk back, and smash that bright-white ball right into his yellow face.Copy !req
192. Whatever, I'm just wasting my time griping about him out here.Copy !req
193. There's no way I'm ever gonna find anything that tiny just wandering around.Copy !req
194. I don't even know how far it flew.Copy !req
195. Maybe this is a little far?Copy !req
196. The landscape's different from downstream.Copy !req
197. Maybe I should start working my way back.Copy !req
198. Return.Copy !req
199. Yeah, even Sister never could have—Copy !req
200. Intruder!Copy !req
201. Beyond this point lies the great Mother-Jungle, the Amazon!Copy !req
202. Return, lest you incur the wrath of the spirits!Copy !req
203. Welcome to theCopy !req
204. Enjoy your trip!Copy !req

227. But... Aren't I heavy?Copy !req
228. All I feel in my arms is the weight of love!Copy !req
229. Oh, Billy!Copy !req
230. Man, I never thought I'd be in a marathon at this age...Copy !req

249. Am I already in last!?Copy !req
250. Oh, that's good.Copy !req
251. He's running it like a normal marathon.Copy !req
252. What are you doing, Sister?Copy !req
253. This is a marathon.Copy !req
254. A marathon is a battle you fight against yourself.Copy !req
255. A war with your body!Copy !req
256. Setting handicaps and breaking through...Copy !req
257. A truly worthy victory!Copy !req

266. What, Whitey's really that fast?Copy !req

269. Building up stamina over a whole year...Copy !req
270. A restricted diet...Copy !req
271. Customizing his machine...Copy !req
272. Don't worry, I know you can take that corner.Copy !req
273. He was too stressed last night to sleep.Copy !req
274. He stayed up all night talking to his beloved field striper "Cornish".Copy !req
275. If we don't let him win, he'll snap!Copy !req
276. Don't worry.Copy !req
277. Whitey won last year and the year before.Copy !req

287. I'm out of white powder!Copy !req

298. I won 10 fish betting me vs. Ric.Copy !req
299. I'll win, even if you're just a step behind me.Copy !req
300. Then again, you're such a scrub that it makes me wonder if you can even finish.Copy !req
301. Stella.Copy !req
302. What?Copy !req
303. 100 fish, all on me.Copy !req
304. Huh?Copy !req
305. You do know no one's placed a single bet on you, right?Copy !req
306. No way! Not one!?Copy !req
307. You're the type who expects to be praised just for finishing, aren't you?Copy !req
308. Don't push yourself too hard, scrub.Copy !req
309. Who the hell do you think I am?Copy !req
310. Didn't I tell you? I'm good at everything.Copy !req
311. On every single one of my report cards, not a single grade was lower than a perfect S!Copy !req
312. Not bad!Copy !req
313. But, Ric. You gonna be able to keep up with the Mayor?Copy !req
314. I don't know, but I'm going to have to!Copy !req
315. If I don't take first, this means absolutely—Copy !req
316. The hearts of humans are like that cloud.Copy !req
317. Take a good look, Ric, Star.Copy !req

320. Wait, he gave up!?Copy !req
321. Episode 115 "Last Run"Copy !req
322. The kappa's out too! What a tumble!Copy !req
323. But that's nothing new, right?Copy !req
324. Right.Copy !req
325. Somehow, first place is held by the super dark horse, scrubby little Recruit!Copy !req
326. Say whatever you want!Copy !req
327. You'll regret turning up your nose at me!Copy !req
328. No one can get by me no—Copy !req
329. How'd he get so quick all of a sudden?Copy !req
330. Didn't you realize? The winds have changed.Copy !req
331. Drive me on, wind! Shooting Star running technique!Copy !req
332. That's unfair!Copy !req
333. I'm always invincible!Copy !req
334. Dammit! I won't let him beat me with that trick!Copy !req
335. I'm worn out, though...Copy !req
336. Calm down, and...Copy !req
337. I've got it!Copy !req
338. I just need to save my strength until he exhausts himself!Copy !req
339. What's with that funny face?Copy !req
340. I'm just mimicking how you look when you run.Copy !req
341. "Aww, I'm all worn out!"Copy !req
342. Son of a—!Copy !req
343. Why don't you wash up on a beach and die, you starfish demon!Copy !req
344. Go choke on your damn necktie, scrub!Copy !req
345. Oh no!Copy !req
346. I forgot that my right leg was supposed to be "broken".Copy !req

348. And even though I'm wounded, two of my squadmates are already casualties...Copy !req
349. There you are!Copy !req
350. Don't worry, we're making it out of here!Copy !req
351. Okay, and...Copy !req
352. Here come the leaders!Copy !req

367. Didn't you go home for more quicklime?Copy !req
368. I went, and came back.Copy !req
369. This is the power of tenacity, Ric.Copy !req

372. Wants to show off at least one day a year!Copy !req
373. Ric.Copy !req
